Monday Media Fun - The Could Atlas

Watch this Film

I've not read the book.

The wife has read the book.

We saw the flick together at the same time.

It was an experience that people who's lives are entwined through deed and emotion should share together and enjoy.

It was a great film.

First off the wife did like it but her opinion of the book vs the movie is simple. The movie tells the story better except with the Neo Seoul, 2144 with Sonmi-451 story line where the wife explains is much better done in the book.

1 of 6 sounds like a win here folks.

Now if you up for two great reviews of the flick and the controversy that's exploded on the racial depictions from the various actors I present two links for you.

Today is the day after Remeberence Day (in Canada) and today people go back to their lives with the previous days events already fading. The lessons learned from those events that have led to conflict, death and loss are slipping away.

Cloud Atlas reminds us we are all connected and their are repercussions to the choices we make.

It explores it so well that the makeup, actions sequences and flowing multi-weaved plot all go to the side lines.

Those gents who made Cloud Atlas; Tom Tykwer who put out shattering Run Lola Run, and the Wachowskis who made the ground breaking Matrix. All three directors have already made their mark in movie making history. Outside of the referenced films in the past lines their is a slew of other films these fine folks have put together.

Yet Cloud Atlas broke the moulds in my view. The experience they crafted so well, with only independent funding is worth your attention. It's not the perfect movie but it's a powerful experience to those who look at the way we treat each other and the connections those treatments generate.

Who is Dozer

My name is Dozer, I work for the Oppressive Arm of the Man as a 1st level boss. I warned everyone that a Tauntun wouldn't make it past the first marker and walking into Mordor is a poor idea. I stole those drugs from that journalist on Friday to keep the Spice flowing. My Little Black Pig is always getting lost but he's not singing in that punk band 'the Replicants' anymore. I've got levels in Nerd, with some student feats and a few advancements in Husband. The cat is dead - ignore that eight and a half by eleven. Be happy said cat wasn't fed to a murderous ATM machine from the 1980's. Tap this card and spend 1 Colourless Mana, 1 Blue Mana and 1 Black Mana to activate the Intrigue/Psi, Human only Conflict - 'Where is John Galt?'. I was almost eaten by a Grue but I know the Konami code and Cup taught me the Universal Greeting. My ARO is pop my Feat and pass the dice for armour saves. Don't ask why we don't have enough fuel to make 88 mph. It has to do with making room for the tuna, fighting over crackers and a Big Gay Robot. For those of you who want to know I call it 'Dick Grayson'. Chocolate covered pretzel? Damn Romulan Ale. Yip yip!
